3. The Facts About Tourette Syndrome
   Basic information about Tourette's Syndrome. Includes a list of symptoms classified as either simple or complex.  
   http://members.tripod.com/~tourette13/
   
   Extractions: Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way. Diagnostic criteria include: Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics present at some time, although not necessarily simultaneously; The occurrence of tics many times a day (usually in bouts) nearly every day or intermittently throughout the span of more than one year; Periodic changes in the number, frequency, type and location of the tics, and in the waxing and waning of their severity. Symptoms can sometimes disappear for weeks or months at a time; Onset before the age of 18. Although the word "involuntary" is used to describe the nature of the tics, this is not entirely accurate. It would not be true to say that people with TS have absolutely no control over their tics, as though it was some type of spasm; rather, a more appropriate term would be "compelling." People with TS feel an irresistable urge to perform their tics, much like the need to scratch a mosquito bite. Some people with TS are able to hold back their tics for up to hours at a time, but this only leads to a stronger outburst of tics once they are finally allowed to be expressed.

   Extractions: Tourette Syndrome "When I was nine-years old, an imp took up residence in me. One afternoon he prodded the left side of my face from the inside, causing my lips to purse and curl askew toward my squinting left eye. Without yet knowing why, I rapidly blinked and shrugged. I grunted. I threw back my head and squeaked while my fists smacked my bruised abdomen." - Description of the symptoms experienced by a man with Tourette Syndrome. Contents of this Page Famous People Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological movement disorder that is inherited. It affects between 100,000 to 200,000 people in the United States. About 1 million Americans may have very mild symptoms of TS. A person with TS makes involuntary and repeated body movements, called "tics." The tics are not always present, but may worsen with fatigue or stress. One of the first written descriptions of TS was made in 1825 by French neurologist Jean-Marc Itard, who was caring for a noblewoman who developed vocal tics at the age of 7. These tics developed into screams and curses, so she was sent to live in seclusion. Sixty years after Itard wrote his description, neuropsychiatrist Georges Albert Edouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette (born 1857; died 1904) wrote a detailed account of several patients with tics in 1885. Included in his account was the French noblewoman Itard had studied.

   Extractions: Ruth Dowling Bruun, M.D., Donald J. Cohen, M.D., James F. Leckman, M.D. This booklet is intended to provide information to physicians, psychologists, nurses, and other professionals who wish to become more knowledgeable about Tourette Syndrome, a widely misunderstood neuropsychiatic (neurobehavioral) disorder. A Physician's Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment of Tourette Syndrome , published by the Tourette Syndrome Association, Inc. in 1984, provided the basic material that has been updated and expanded in scope for this edition. to top Tics are involuntary, rapid, repetitive, and stereotyped movements of individual muscle groups. They are more easily recognized than precisely defined. Disorders involving tics generally are divided into categories according to age of onset, duration of symptoms, and the presence of vocal or phonic tics in addition to motor tics. Transient tic disorders often begin during the early school years and can occur in up to 15% of all children. Common tics include eye blinking, nose puckering, grimacing, and squinting. Transient vocalizations are less common and include various throat sounds, humming, or other noises. Childhood tics may be bizarre, such as licking the palm or poking and pinching the genitals. Transient tics last only weeks or a few months and usually are not associated with specific behavioral or school problems. They are especially noticeable with heightened excitement or fatigue. As with all tic syndromes, boys are three to four times more often afflicted than girls. While transient tics by definition do not persist for more than a year, it is not uncommon for a child to have series of transient tics over the course of several years.

    Extractions: (Adobe Acrobat ™ format) Tourette Syndrome Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (Tourette Syndrome or TS) is a neurological disorder which becomes evident in early childhood or adolescence between the ages of 2 and 15. Tourette syndrome is defined by multiple motor and vocal tics lasting for more than one year. Many people have only motor tics or only vocal tics. The first symptoms usually are involuntary movements (tics) of the face, arms, limbs or trunk. These tics are frequent, repetitive and rapid. The most common first symptom is a facial tic (eye blink, nose twitch, grimace), and is replaced or added to by other tics of the neck, trunk, and limbs. These involuntary (outside the patient's control) tics may also be complicated, involving the entire body, such as kicking and stamping. Many person report what are described as premonitory urges the urge to perform a motor activity. Other symptoms such as touching, repetitive thoughts and movements and compulsions can occur. There are also verbal tics. These verbal tics (vocalizations) usually occur with the movements; later they may replace one or more motor tics. These vocalizations include grunting, throat clearing, shouting and barking. The verbal tics may also be expressed as coprolalia (the involuntary use of obscene words or socially inappropriate words and phrases) or copropraxia (obscene gestures). Despite widespread publicity, coprolalia/copropraxia is uncommon with tic disorders.

    Extractions: Mark is 10 years old, and he gets noticed a lot - but not for his cool skateboard or new sneakers. Mark gets second looks from people because he twitches, shrugs, jerks his shoulders, and flexes his jaw. He can stop doing these things, but not for long. "One time," Mark says, "some kid asked me why I was moving like that. Before I could answer, another kid said, 'Because he's weird.' " But Mark isn't weird. He has a condition called Tourette syndrome. What Is Tourette Syndrome? Tourette syndrome affects the central nervous system and causes tics. Tics are movements or sounds that are repeated over and over. People with Tourette syndrome have very little control over the unwanted twitches, movements, or noises that they make. If you are having trouble imagining what tics are like, they're kind of like hiccups. You don't plan them and you don't want them. You can try tricks to make the hiccups stop, like drinking water upside down, but you can't just decide to stop hiccuping. Hiccups that last too long can even start to hurt and feel uncomfortable. Tics can be like that, too. Tics are also a little like "scratching an itch." You don't really want to scratch the itch, but you just can't help it.
